33x in 30 years – A Trajectory for Good

Aditya Birla Group forayed into branded jewellery retail business in 2024 with the launch of its brand, Indriya, under the company, Novel Jewels.Rooted in Sanskrit, Indriya signifies strength and the power of the five senses—elements that drive our consciousness and shape our experiences. The brand's insignia, a graceful Female Gazelle, symbolises the senses and epitomises feminine beauty and elegance. Indriya is not just about our identity; it’s about celebrating the profound love women have for jewellery.Indriya is a "New Age Jewellery" brand that transforms the jewellery experience for every Indian. With a projected 50% CAGR and 3x the industry growth over the next decade, Indirya aspires to become one of the top three jewellery retailers within the first five years of its launch, and potentially the largest direct-to-consumer retailer under Aditya Birla Group.Indriya offers over 20,000 curated and 8,000 exclusive designs, crafted for various occasions. Currently Indriya has 27 stores across New Delhi, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Pune, Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Patna, Indore, Surat, Lucknow, Vijayawada, and &nbsp;Bhubaneswar. It plans to open 100 stores across India by FY2026.Mr. Sandeep Kohli is the Chief Executive Officer of Novel Jewels.

From the high-fashion runways of Mumbai or Paris to the intimate setting of your home, Aditya Birla Group’s jewellery brand is sparking the love through exquisitely-crafted collections of gold and diamond masterpieces designed to be cherished for eternity.&nbsp;<h3><img class="image_resized image-style-align-left image" style="width:35%;" src="https://www.cms.adityabirla.com/uploads/from_indriya_with_love_5_1c1ed0507c.webp" alt="from-indriya-with-love (5).webp"> &nbsp;&nbsp; Setting the catwalk ablaze</h3>The Lakme Fashion Week 2026 dazzled Mumbai between 19th-22nd March, and the scintillating collaboration between <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DWbZzjqR69_/">Indriya with designer Amit Aggarwal</a> made it shine even brighter. <a href="/businesses/companies/indriya/">Indriya</a> paid homage to India’s cultural heritage through polki and diamonds, complemented by Amit Ag garwal’s signature Banarsi weaves and mirror work.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Talking about the concept behind collaborating with Indriya to showcase his collection ‘Orizon’ at Lakme Fashion Week, the designer said “I think both jewellery at Indriya and clothing at Amit Aggarwal chase the concept of light.”&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Models Rhea Kapoor, Juhi Godambe, Amyra Dastur and Niki Mehra walked the ramp adorned in Indriya’s jewellery, paired with Amit Aggarwal’s sculptural couture, with Disha Patani taking centre stage as the showstopper. The collection represented a powerful expression of heritage reimagined in the luminous, contemporary form of Indriya x Orizon.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<div class="page-break" style="page-break-after:always;">&nbsp;</div><h3><img class="image_resized image-style-align-right image" style="width:40%;" src="https://www.cms.adityabirla.com/uploads/from_indriya_with_love_6_a3160675da.webp" alt="from-indriya-with-love (6).webp">&nbsp; Your forever Valentine</h3>The concept of timelessness is integral to Indriya, which celebrates love not just for a moment or for a day but for a lifetime. This message came through strongly through the brand’s <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.instagram.com/reels/DUdPcwziGX0/?hl=en">special Valentine’s Day campaign</a>, with celebrity couple Soha Ali Khan and Kunal Khemu adding sparkle to the screen. The brand created a playful narrative that has Soha guessing the phrase ‘Dil Abhi Bhara Nahin’ in a game of Dumb Charades; it culminates with Kunal gifting her a diamond necklace that is her ‘forever Valentine’.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<h3> &nbsp;</h3><div class="page-break" style="page-break-after:always;">&nbsp;</div><h3>Bonjour to Indian Karigari</h3>A love for Indian craftsmanship is integral to the brand. At the Paris Couture Week held between 26-29th January 2026, Indriya bedazzled the city of love as the official jewellery partner of renowned designer Gaurav Gupta. The artistry of Indian jewellery was showcased in all its glory through Indriya’s first-ever collection at this prestigious global fashion platform.“Indriya takes pride in bringing the finest nuances of Indian art, craft, architecture and culture into its design vocabulary and its nuanced story telling,” said Indriya’s Head of Marketing and Visual Merchandising Shantiswarup Panda in a press release. “Our collaboration with Gaurav Gupta is an endeavour to present to the world, the beautiful Indian concept of duality in a unique manner through the Paris Couture Week.”&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<img class="image_resized image-style-align-left image-style-align-left;" style="width:45%;" src="https://www.cms.adityabirla.com/uploads/from_indriya_with_love_2_14f8876eef.webp" alt="from-indriya-with-love (2).webp"> <img class="image_resized image-style-align-right" style="width:45%;" src="https://www.cms.adityabirla.com/uploads/from_indriya_with_love_3_705511bf10.webp" alt="from-indriya-with-love (3).webp"><div class="page-break" style="page-break-after:always;">&nbsp;</div> Gaurav Gupta’s couture collection was inspired by the concept of dualities, elements that coexist and complete one another, rooted in Ardhanarishvara, the divine union of the masculine and feminine. The collection explored contrasts that shape creation itself, such as structure and fluidity, form and formlessness, strength and grace.Speaking about his collaboration with Indriya, the couturier explained, “Jewellery, for me, is not an embellishment of the body, but an extension of its inner geometry. In The Divine Androgyne, each form becomes a vessel of energy, memory, and quiet power. Working with Indriya felt instinctive, their language of heritage and ornament offered the perfect balance of tradition and restraint, complementing the collection without ever overpowering it.”&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<figure class="image image_resized image-style-align-left" style="width:40%;"><img class="image_resized" src="https://www.cms.adityabirla.com/uploads/from_indriya_with_love_4_d946df8628.webp" alt="from-indriya-with-love (4).webp"></figure>Indriya’s designs are anchored in India’s rich aesthetics and cultural heritage so they speak the same language as Gaurav Gupta’s sculptural couture vocabulary - precise, luminous and sculptural. At the presentation of his Spring/Summer 2026 Collection, the jewels stole the show by becoming points of light that moved with the wearer, connecting body, craft and couture.Abhishek Rastogi, Head of Design at Indriya, explained that the jewellery had been carefully curated to work in harmony with the collection’s bold silhouettes and flowing forms: “Each piece enhances the couture, bringing together precision, craftsmanship and artistic expression.”&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<div class="page-break" style="page-break-after:always;">&nbsp;</div><h3>Love in all its forms</h3>The latest collection from Indriya adds the bliss of divine love to the repertoire with gold filigree Kaliganthis that echo the devotion of the Sapta Matrikas, and threads of gold that trace the grace of Mata ni Pachedi.To feel the love, browse through Indriya’s latest Devi Collection, and other treasures on its <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.indriya.com/devi">online store</a>.

Sustainability

In the bustling city of Bengaluru, where access to healthcare for the less privileged is often a daily struggle, a mother and daughter chose to become a force for good that provided quality and accessible treatment.For over 15 years, Priya’s mother Rani Desai, a public health consultant, witnessed a stark and painful truth: families in underserved communities going without even the most basic medical care. Illnesses that could be treated were left to worsen, simply because help was out of reach. Instead of waiting for change, she decided to create it.&nbsp;<div class="video-responsive"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/NdjB2CYAN90" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div>&nbsp;Drawing on their personal savings and an unshakeable sense of purpose, the mother-daughter duo founded the Anahat Foundation. What began as a small effort soon grew into a lifeline for thousands. Through free health camps, they brought consultations, medicines, and diagnostic tests directly to those who needed them most—no cost, no barriers, no questions asked.For the communities they served, this was more than healthcare. It was dignity, reassurance, and hope. “I have been coming here for four to five years,” shares one beneficiary. “Blood tests are free, medicines are free, doctor consultations are free—and everything is well managed. They provide good medicines.”Over the past seven years alone, the foundation has treated more than 15,000 people, caring for 50 to 100 patients every single day. But what truly defines their journey is not just the scale—it is their unwavering commitment. Even when funds ran low, they never stopped. Priya stepped in to strengthen the foundation’s reach—mobilising resources, building awareness, and ensuring the work could continue.Rani remained on the frontlines, treating patients with compassion and dedication until her very last breath. Together, they proved that change does not always begin with institutions. Sometimes, it begins with two people who refuse to give up.Today, though her mother is no longer by her side, Priya continues to carry their shared dream forward. The mission remains clear: to ensure that no one is denied access to affordable, quality primary and preventive healthcare.Priya is well aware that to sustain and grow this impact, more hands are needed. “We need support from young people,” she says. “Whether it’s volunteering your time or donating even a small amount.”Aditya Birla Group is happy to partner The Better India to give voice to inspiring stories of people acting as <a href="/our-story/a-force-for-good/">#AForceForGood</a>.

Two Women, One Mission: Bringing Healthcare to Those Who Need It Most

People and diversity

In Lucknow, a powerful action is changing the lives of thousands of girls.Aashraya Seth, founder of Happy Periods, didn’t set out to challenge social norms. His journey began while working at IIT Bombay and later while consulting with state governments. That’s where he encountered a reality that was both startling and deeply unjust; nearly one in five girls was dropping out of school after the onset of menstruation — not due to illness or lack of ambition, but because they couldn’t afford something as basic as sanitary pads.&nbsp;<div class="video-responsive"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/mUj1UOV1Jik" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div>&nbsp;For many, this might have been just another statistic. For Aashraya, it became a turning point. He began speaking openly about menstrual health, an issue still shrouded in silence and stigma. The reactions were telling — awkward pauses, discomfort, even resistance. A man talking about periods? It challenged deeply ingrained taboos. But Ashraya refused to let silence win.Instead, he listened. He visited schools, engaged with community leaders, and tried to understand the problem at its roots. What emerged was a solution that was as practical as it was powerful, the Pad Bank.Affordable, accessible, and designed for real-world conditions, the Pad Bank is a non-electric sanitary pad vending machine that fits easily into school washrooms. Priced at just ₹2,500, it dispenses biodegradable pads with the press of a button — no electricity, no maintenance, no fuss.What began as a simple intervention has grown into a movement. Today, over 58,000 school-going girls receive free, sustainable menstrual products every month, helping them stay in school with dignity. At the same time, more than 5,000 rural women and girls have been trained to produce cloth pads, creating a steady source of livelihood and financial independence.Through his initiative, Happy Periods, Aashraya is doing more than distributing pads — he is dismantling stigma, creating opportunities, and redefining menstrual health as what it truly is: a public health priority. His message is simple but urgent. Menstrual health is not just a women’s issue, it is everyone’s issue. It demands collective action, open conversations, and sustained support.Sometimes, the most powerful change begins with breaking a silence.&nbsp;Aditya Birla Group is happy to partner The Better India to give voice to inspiring stories of people acting as <a href="/our-story/a-force-for-good/">#AForceForGood</a>.

Pad Bank: A Simple Machine, a Powerful Movement

Good evening, everyone! And thank you for joining us today.The first time I set foot into a cement plant, was when I was 20. I was a freshly minted CA, and set to pursue my MBA after a few years. I had no background in technology or anything remotely technical. This trip was to Vikram Cement, at Khor, Madhya Pradesh. It was one of the two cement units that the company had back then.I came back from there fascinated— I liked the clock work discipline with which things worked, the work culture. Most of all, that you could make a material as significant as cement, in a process that seemed simple. Surprisingly, I understood the cement making process quite well too. My many subsequent trips to Vikram Cement and growing familiarity with the business only strengthened my conviction about the cement opportunity. As it happened, around then, I read somewhere, that cement is the most widely used substance in the world, only after water. With that my imagination was fired. But that early fascination was also quickly put through the grinder of operational reality.&nbsp;Every month back then, my father and I would sit with the engineering team and analyse all the breakdowns in the cement plants during the previous month. Whether they were for mechanical, instrumentation electrical or process related reasons and the steps to be taken to ensure that they did not recur. These sessions were tedious and taxing. I used to hope that one day we would have many more plants, making this monthly exercise unsustainable. As it turns out, that hope scaled faster than I had ever imagined.&nbsp;Back then, our cement capacity was under 5 million tonnes. Today with the commissioning of three plants at Vishakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh, Shahjahanpur in UP, and Patratu in Jharkhand, <a href="/businesses/companies/ultratech-cement-limited/">UltraTech’s cement</a> capacity will increase to over 200 million tons per annum.This is as much a milestone for India, as it is for the Aditya Birla Group, and holds great significance for me personally as well.This scale is unprecedented. No other company in any sector in India has ever reached this capacity milestone. It places UltraTech as the largest cement company in the world, outside of China. Today, UltraTech’s cement capacity is almost twice the cement capacity of the United States and greater than the entire cement capacity of the European Union.The unstoppable, the relentless, and the unshakeable Team UltraTech has created history tonight. Let’s give them a huge round of applause. I want to acknowledge the top leadership team of UltraTech. Our Managing Director, Mr. K.C. Jhanwar, Chief Marketing Officer, Mr. Vivek Agrawal, Chief Manufacturing Officer, Mr E.R. Raj Narayanan, and CFO, Mr Atul Daga.Two hundred million tons. Of this 200, about 110 million tons have been built through greenfield and brownfield expansions, and the rest 90 million tons through a series of acquisitions over the years. We started with a bang with the L&amp;T cement acquisition and never looked back, as Jaypee, Binani, Century, Kesoram, and most recently India Cements joined the UltraTech fold.It took us 36 years to reach 100 million tonnes. The next 50 million followed in five. The 50 after that, in just over two. No cement company in the world has added capacity at this pace in the last decade.The last 10 years have truly been transformational for UltraTech and for India. India’s highway network has expanded by nearly 60% and metro network by nearly 350%. Daily road construction has tripled to 35 kilometres a day. And when a country begins to build at this scale, cement transcends from being a material to becoming a national development asset. UltraTech has grown in step with this ambition, rising from a capacity of 60 million tons about a decade ago to over 200 million tons today. What this milestone ultimately represents is larger than just a corporate inflection point. It is evidence of an economy that has found both the intent and the capacity to build, consistently, decisively, and with increasing velocity.Back in 2019, I had said that scale is not everything. It is the only thing. This 200 million ton milestone makes me reflect on that, yet again. What does scale do? What does it create? What does it signal? And what does it set in motion? To my mind, scale reveals itself in four ways: in impact, in reach, in reliability, and in responsibility.The 200 MTPA number in my view does not represent only our capacity, but also India’s place in the world. It describes an India that carries scale with confidence – in its ambitions, its execution, and its sense of self.&nbsp;Scale is about trust. The trust of a country that has chosen to build with us, year after year. The trust of an ecosystem that relies on us to show up, on time, every time.&nbsp;Few materials offer as clear a reading of a nation’s physical progress as cement. Which is why UltraTech’s contribution to India must be understood not only through tonnage, but through where those tonnes finally go. One in every three homes built in India is built with UltraTech. Two of every five kilometres of NHAI’s concrete roads. Four of every five kilometres of metro rail. Two of every five bags of Cement that go into India’s airports. These figures are a measure of how deeply UltraTech is woven into the physical fabric of this country. The Central Vista, the new Parliament building, the Mumbai Coastal Road, the Dwarka Expressway, the Navi Mumbai International Airport, the Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet Train. These are the physical signatures of a more confident India. And we have been an integral part of each of these defining infrastructure projects.65% of our trade sales come from rural India. When a family in a village builds its first home, there is a very high chance that it is built with our cement. That connection to the aspirations of rural Indian families is something we hold with great pride.And so, I believe, that you simply cannot reduce UltraTech’s scale to a plant count or a capacity number. Scale is what reaches the market. Scale is what reaches the village, the district, the metro, the airport, the contractor, the home builder. Scale is what allows a company to serve both the India of landmark infrastructure and the India of everyday aspiration.That brings me to the 2nd facet of scale. Scale is reach. The UltraTech network today spans 1.5 lakh channel partners, with a presence across more than 90% of India’s talukas. There is no other company in Indian industry that can say that it serves the construction needs of the entire country, from the largest infrastructure project to the smallest individual home builder, at this depth and breadth.The third facet of scale: reliability. Scale, when shaped with intent, becomes far more than size. What we have sought to build at UltraTech is something more exacting than just scale. It is the institutional character to deploy it well. That means being the most reliable player and delivering the best products and service to our customers, consistently and without exception. UltraTech’s ability to deliver within four hours of an order being placed is a powerful assurance.&nbsp;Behind that assurance, sits an operating system of uncommon scale. Each year, over Rs.16,000 crore is committed to moving material, that is to logistics.&nbsp;On any given day, more than 35,000 trucks are on the road carrying our cement. Over 70 railway rakes are in transit, across long distances with clockwork precision. Around 35,000 orders are processed daily, reaching nearly 30,000 destinations, from dense urban centres to remote project sites. This movement is anchored through a network of over 300 railheads and 1,350 warehouses, positioned to keep supply close to demand. UltraTech’s daily material movement is equivalent to 20% of the Indian Railways’ total material movement on any day.Scale of this nature carries consequences that travel well beyond operations. Our procurement basket alone exceeds Rs 27,000 crore annually. Every rupee of that spend flows through Indian suppliers, Indian logistics partners, Indian communities. Clearly, the economic footprint of the company extends far beyond what its balance sheet can show. Around UltraTech’s industrial footprint also sits a wider social one. Our CSR initiatives now reach 1.8 million people across thousands of villages.&nbsp;And then comes the fourth facet of scale: responsibility. Scale, over time, acquires a certain gravity. At UltraTech, that realisation has steadily informed how we choose to grow. Sustainability, has been the character of that growth. Consider the energy transition that is already underway.A key facet of sustainability, is future-readiness. And we have been steadily investing in building out a wider construction ecosystem. Over the past five years, UltraTech’s Ready Mix Concrete business has expanded to 450 plants across 150 cities. The RMC business is adding capacity at a rhythm of one plant every few days. The Building Products and Solutions story is equally significant. Today, this division offers over 75 products across tile adhesives, water proofing, plasters and mortars. This enables us to move closer to the customer and deeper into the construction value chain than ever before. Providing solutions as opposed to only products, which is also the philosophy of the Aditya Birla Group.I must acknowledge that UltraTech’s remarkable journey has been built on enduring partnerships. So many of our partners in this journey are here with us, this evening. Across the country, thousands of dealers have stood with us, carrying our name into markets where trust is earned one interaction at a time. C&amp;F agents, transporters and retailers have kept the wheels turning, often against odds that do not show up in reports. Indian Railways and Port Operators have enabled us to deliver seamlessly to customers across the country. Engineers, and architects, have placed their confidence in us no matter what. Masons and contractors have turned that confidence into homes, roads and skylines.Our upstream partners have been just as integral. India’s leading engineering, construction and infrastructure companies have built with us at moments that demanded both speed and certainty. Banks, financial institutions and investors have backed us with belief. And so have our, technology and equipment partners, vendors and other service providers. This milestone carries their imprint as much as, it does, ours.Over the years, these associations have deepened into something more enduring. A community bound by shared outcomes. It has held firm through cycles, through volatility, through the sheer strain of growth at this pace. This relationship capital as I call it has been one of our superpowers. And for that I am truly grateful to all of you.And then there are our people, our team. No milestone of this scale is delivered by strategy alone. It is carried, day after day, by individuals who show up solve problems, and push forward. Some are recognised. Many are not. But all have mattered. There is an extraordinary level of determination in Team UltraTech, a capacity to absorb disruption, and to keep moving even as the ground shifts. Growth at this pace requires a certain kind of organisational courage. The courage to take risks. The courage to commit, to keep building when the cycle is uncertain, to operate without precedent, to solve for complexity in real time.&nbsp;I would also like to acknowledge, with gratitude, the contribution of several leaders who have helped shape UltraTech’s journey and cement its leadership position over the years - Mr. B. L. Shah, Mr. M. C. Bagrodia, Mr. Saurabh Misra, Mr. O. P. Puranmalka, and Mr. K. K. Maheshwari.I see the 200 million tonnes milestone, as only a marker, and not a destination. With a target of 240 million tonnes by FY28 at an investment of Rs. 16,000 Cr already in motion the path ahead is firmly underway. India stands at a defining juncture, where choices made over the next decade will shape its infrastructure for generations. That calls for continuity of purpose and clarity of execution. It is a responsibility we carry with intent, and one that we continue to lean into.Recently, I came across a letter that my great grandfather wrote to my father in the 1960s. He spoke with great pride about how one of our companies had been ‘permitted’ to expand capacity from 20,000 to 50,000 tonnes. It was, in its time, a significant step forward. One cannot help but pause and imagine what he would have made of 200 million tonnes. The scale has changed. However the sense of purpose has not. That is perhaps the deepest meaning of scale. Scale is as much about continuity and stewardship as it is about size. And, ultimately, it is a commitment that endures across generations.And I stand here conscious of that legacy. Of my great grandfather, Ghanshyam Das Birla, who instilled the belief that corporations must serve a larger cause. Of my grandfather, Basant Kumar Birla, who built with great discipline and foresight. And of my father, Aditya Vikram Birla, who laid the foundation of this business with conviction.What we see today stands on that foundation. And what we build next must be worthy of it.

UltraTech Cement’s 200 MTPA Milestone: Mr. Kumar Mangalam Birla’s speech

Chairman's message

UltraTech Cement Limited is the cement flagship company of Aditya Birla Group. A USD 8.9 billion company, UltraTech is the largest manufacturer of grey cement, ready-mix concrete (RMC) and white cement in India.&nbsp;UltraTech is the second largest cement company (globally by capacity) and the largest by sales volume (excluding China). The Company has a consolidated production capacity of 194.06 Million Tonnes Per Annum (MTPA) of grey cement. UltraTech is the only cement company globally (outside of China) to have 175+ MTPA of cement manufacturing capacity in a single country. The Company’s business operations span UAE, Bahrain, Sri Lanka and India.UltraTech’s manufacturing footprint comprises of 34 integrated manufacturing units, one Clinkerisation unit, 34 grinding units and 10 bulk packaging terminals. With 425 Ready Mix Concrete (RMC) plants in 163 cities, UltraTech is the largest manufacturer of concrete in India. It has a slew of speciality concretes that meet specific needs of discerning customers.&nbsp;UltraTech has a network of over 1.45 lakh channel partners across the country and has a market reach of more than 80% across India. In the white cement segment, UltraTech goes to market under the brand name of Birla White. It has two White Cement units and four Wall Care putty units, with a current capacity of 2.6 MTPA.&nbsp;In 2025, UltraTech extended its footprint in the construction value chain, through wires and cables segment with a planned capital expenditure of ~ INR 1,800 crore over the next 2 years.The Company’s social initiatives focus on education, healthcare, sustainable livelihoods, community infrastructure and social causes. Through its CSR initiatives, UltraTech reaches out to more than 1.8 million beneficiaries in over 500 villages across India.UltraTech is also a founding member of Global Cement and Concrete Association (GCCA). It is a signatory to the GCCA Climate Ambition 2050 and has committed to the Net Zero Concrete Roadmap announced by GCCA. UltraTech is focused on accelerating the decarbonisation of its operations, and is the first company in India and the second company in Asia to issue dollar-based sustainability linked bonds. UltraTech works to actively contribute to the social and economic development of the communities in which it operates in.&nbsp;

UltraTech Cement’s evolution over the decades is a story of scale, strategic intent, and an increasingly sharp focus on sustainability. As part of the Aditya Birla Group, UltraTech Cement has transformed itself from a domestic leader into a global powerhouse through a series of defining milestones. Its growth has been driven not only by steady organic expansion but also by well-timed acquisitions, including India Cements and Kesoram Industries, which significantly strengthened its production base and market reach.&nbsp; These strategic moves have enabled UltraTech to build a vast manufacturing and distribution network spanning most of India, serving both urban infrastructure and rural development needs. The company’s capacity has steadily climbed to over 190 MTPA in FY26 and is expected to cross the 200 MTPA milestone ahead of its original timeline. This achievement represents UltraTech’s emergence as a serious contender for the position of the largest cement company in the world outside China, marking a pivotal moment in its global ambitions. In fact, UltraTech is now the second largest cement manufacturer in the world.&nbsp; At the 25th AGM of UltraTech Cement in 2025, Mr. Kumar Mangalam Birla, Chairman, Aditya Birla Group had framed this journey within a broader purpose, describing the company as “a force for nation building.” Read his full speech here: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.adityabirla.com/media/stories/chairman-mr-kumar-mangalam-birlas-speech-at-twenty-fifth-annual-general-meeting-of-ultratech-cement/">Kumar Mangalam Birla’s Speech at UltraTech Cement AGM&nbsp;</a> He highlighted that UltraTech’s role goes far beyond manufacturing cement. It enables the creation of highways, homes, and critical infrastructure that underpin economic growth and social progress. This vision is closely tied to India’s long-term aspirations leading up to 2047, where infrastructure development is expected to play a transformative role in shaping a self-reliant and globally competitive nation.&nbsp; Equally significant is UltraTech’s progress on sustainability, which has become a core pillar of its growth strategy. The company has crossed 1 GW of renewable energy capacity for captive use, a milestone that places it among the leaders in industrial decarbonisation in India. With green energy now meeting a substantial share of its power needs, UltraTech is actively reducing its dependence on conventional energy sources.&nbsp; Its climate commitments are aligned with the GCCA 2050 Net Zero Roadmap, and it has already made tangible progress in lowering carbon emissions intensity compared to its earlier baseline. At the same time, the company is investing in forward-looking solutions such as carbon capture, utilisation, and storage (CCUS), signalling a long-term commitment to deep decarbonisation.&nbsp; Beyond carbon, UltraTech’s sustainability efforts span water stewardship, circular economy practices, and biodiversity conservation. It is significantly water positive, recycling and replenishing far more water than it consumes. The large-scale use of alternative and recycled raw materials reflects a shift towards resource efficiency, while biodiversity management initiatives across most of its plants underline a commitment to ecological balance.&nbsp; Taken together, these milestones illustrate a clear evolution in UltraTech’s identity. It is no longer defined solely by its scale or market leadership, but by its ability to integrate growth with responsibility. As articulated by Birla, this blend of infrastructure development and sustainability is what truly embodies nation building, creating not just assets, but a resilient and inclusive future.&nbsp; Here is a look back at the major milestones of the company in the last 7 years:2025&nbsp; • UltraTech completes acquisition of the cement business of Kesoram Industries Limited (KIL).&nbsp; • UltraTech Cement Capacity: 194.06 MTPA.&nbsp; • UltraTech becomes the largest cement company globally by sales volume (excluding China) and second largest globally by capacity (excluding China).&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;2024&nbsp; • UltraTech surpasses groundbreaking 150 mtpa capacity. This capacity is more than 150% of the capacity in the United States and 80% of Europe's capacity. &nbsp;&nbsp; • UltraTech completes acquisition of The India Cements Limited.

</div>UltraTech Cement’s evolution over the decades is a story of scale, strategic intent, and an increasingly sharp focus on sustainability. As part of the Aditya Birla Group, UltraTech Cement has transformed itself from a domestic leader into a global powerhouse through a series of defining milestones. Its growth has been driven not only by steady organic expansion but also by well-timed acquisitions, including India Cements and Kesoram Industries, which significantly strengthened its production base and market reach.&nbsp; These strategic moves have enabled UltraTech to build a vast manufacturing and distribution network spanning most of India, serving both urban infrastructure and rural development needs. The company’s capacity has steadily climbed to over 190 MTPA in FY26 and is expected to cross the 200 MTPA milestone ahead of its original timeline. This achievement represents UltraTech’s emergence as a serious contender for the position of the largest cement company in the world outside China, marking a pivotal moment in its global ambitions. In fact, UltraTech is now the second largest cement manufacturer in the world.&nbsp; At the 25th AGM of UltraTech Cement in 2025, Mr. Kumar Mangalam Birla, Chairman, Aditya Birla Group had framed this journey within a broader purpose, describing the company as “a force for nation building.” Read his full speech here: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.adityabirla.com/media/stories/chairman-mr-kumar-mangalam-birlas-speech-at-twenty-fifth-annual-general-meeting-of-ultratech-cement/">Kumar Mangalam Birla’s Speech at UltraTech Cement AGM</a>&nbsp; He highlighted that UltraTech’s role goes far beyond manufacturing cement. It enables the creation of highways, homes, and critical infrastructure that underpin economic growth and social progress. This vision is closely tied to India’s long-term aspirations leading up to 2047, where infrastructure development is expected to play a transformative role in shaping a self-reliant and globally competitive nation.&nbsp; Equally significant is UltraTech’s progress on sustainability, which has become a core pillar of its growth strategy. The company has crossed 1 GW of renewable energy capacity for captive use, a milestone that places it among the leaders in industrial decarbonisation in India. With green energy now meeting a substantial share of its power needs, UltraTech is actively reducing its dependence on conventional energy sources.&nbsp; Its climate commitments are aligned with the GCCA 2050 Net Zero Roadmap, and it has already made tangible progress in lowering carbon emissions intensity compared to its earlier baseline. At the same time, the company is investing in forward-looking solutions such as carbon capture, utilisation, and storage (CCUS), signalling a long-term commitment to deep decarbonisation.&nbsp; Beyond carbon, UltraTech’s sustainability efforts span water stewardship, circular economy practices, and biodiversity conservation. It is significantly water positive, recycling and replenishing far more water than it consumes. The large-scale use of alternative and recycled raw materials reflects a shift towards resource efficiency, while biodiversity management initiatives across most of its plants underline a commitment to ecological balance.&nbsp; Taken together, these milestones illustrate a clear evolution in UltraTech’s identity. It is no longer defined solely by its scale or market leadership, but by its ability to integrate growth with responsibility. As articulated by Birla, this blend of infrastructure development and sustainability is what truly embodies nation building, creating not just assets, but a resilient and inclusive future.&nbsp; Here is a look back at the major milestones of the company in the last 7 years:2025&nbsp; • UltraTech completes acquisition of the cement business of Kesoram Industries Limited (KIL).&nbsp; • UltraTech Cement Capacity: 194.06 MTPA.&nbsp; • UltraTech becomes the largest cement company globally by sales volume (excluding China) and second largest globally by capacity (excluding China).&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;2024&nbsp; • UltraTech surpasses groundbreaking 150 mtpa capacity. This capacity is more than 150% of the capacity in the United States and 80% of Europe's capacity. &nbsp;&nbsp; • UltraTech completes acquisition of The India Cements Limited.
